My simple explanation of woodburning is that you are basically drawing on wood with a hot pen.  You will need to purchase a woodburning tool for this craft project.  My woodburning tool is made by Walnut Hollow, and I am quite satisfied with it.  It came with different writing “points” (or tips, as I call them), as well as three ”points” that can be used to simply stamp the wood with the design of that particular tip.   It is important to note that the woodburning tool get VERY hot – 950 Farenheit/510 Celsius.  So if you were planning on doing this craft with kids, they are going to need to be old enough to handle the tool.  I also suggest you keep a glass of ice water next to your work surface (whether you are a kid or not), in case you accidentally burn yourself.
